About Us

Who We Are

Paly SciOly is a club of approximately 30 students at Palo Alto High School. We participate in various science competitions.

What We Do

The main competition in which we participate is Science Olympiad. We routinely send two teams of fifteen people to the Science Olympiad Regional Tournament, and one of these teams to the State Tournament. In 2010, we hope to send a team to the National Tournament. We began participating in Science Bowl in 2008, and we placed 4th at the competition in 2009. We placed 4th in the Wondercup Challenge during our first year participating in 2009.

When We Do It

The WonderCup Challenge is held in late October and early November. The Regional Science Bowl competition is held in February. Science Olympiad Regional and State Tournaments typically take place during March and April, with the State Tournament occurring about three weeks after the Regional Tournament. The National Tournament is held in late May.
